- First-Episode Psychosis in a 15 Year-Old Female with Clinical Presentation of Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis: A Case Report and Review of the LiteraturePublication . Moura, M; Silva-Dos-Santos, A; Afonso, J; Talina, MAnti-NMDA receptor encephalitis is an autoimmune disease that was identified in 2007, and manifests in a stepwise manner with psychiatric, neurological and autonomic symptoms. The disease is caused by autoantibodies against NMDA receptors. It can have a paraneoplastic origin, mainly secondary to ovarian teratomas, but it can also be unrelated to the tumor. This disease can affect both sexes and all ages. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we present a case of a 15 year-old female adolescent with first-episode psychosis with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis not related to tumor, which manifested with delusion, hallucinations, panic attacks, agitation, and neurological symptoms, and later with autonomic instability. She was treated with immunotherapy and psychiatric medication resulting in improvement of her main psychiatric and neurological symptoms. CONCLUSION: Our main objective in presenting this case is to alert clinicians to this challenging and recent disease that has a clinical presentation that might resemble a functional psychiatric condition and can be underdiagnosed in the context of child and adolescent psychiatry.
- Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures in Adolescence: Case ReportPublication . Gomes Cano, C; Serrano, AC; Pires, S; Pereira, APsychogenic non-epileptic seizures are a functional neurological disorder characterized by transient alterations in sensory-motor control and a lack of response to external stimulus, resembling epileptic seizures, but with distinctive semiologic features supported by no ictal activity on electroencephalogram. Since psychogenic non-epileptic seizures can mimic epileptic seizures, children and adolescents with this presentation are usually seen by neurologists. Early diagnosis and intervention with a multidisciplinary approach, including neurology and pedopsychiatry, are critical for limiting unnecessary medical investigations and needless antiepileptic drugs, ascertaining psychiatric comorbidities, and improving treatment adherence and prognosis. We report the case of a 12-year-old female with several admissions to a neuropediatric inpatient unit with a diagnosis of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures to discuss neurologic and psychiatric assessments, delivery of diagnoses, and planning of outpatient management of this disorder in adolescents.
- The child and adolescent psychiatry: study of training in Europe (CAP-STATE)Publication . Barrett, E; Jacobs, B; Klasen, H; Herguner, S; Agnafors, S; Banjac, V; Bezborodovs, N; Cini, E; Hamann, C; Huscsava, MM; Kostadinova, M; Kramar, Y; Maravic, VM; McGrath, J; Molteni, S; Moron-Nozaleda, MG; Mudra, S; Nikolova, G; Vorkas, KP; Prata, AT; Revet, Al; Joseph, JR; Serbak, R; Tomac, A; Van den Steene, H; Xylouris, G; Zielinska, A; Hebebrand, JThere is great cultural diversity across Europe. This is reflected in the organisation of child and adolescent mental health (CAMH) services and the training of the respective professionals in different countries in Europe. Patients and their parents will want a high quality, knowledgeable, and skillful service from child and adolescent psychiatrists (CAPs) wherever they see them in Europe. A European comparison of training programs allows all stakeholders in different European countries to assess the diversity and to initiate discussions as to the introduction of improvements within national training programs. Major issues to be addressed in comparing child and adolescent psychiatric training programs across Europe include: (1) formal organisation and content of training programs and the relationship to adult psychiatry and paediatrics; (2) flexibility of training, given different trainee interests and that many trainees will have young families; (3) quality of governance of training systems; (4) access to research; and (5) networking. The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry-Study of Training in Europe (CAP-State) is a survey of training for child and adolescent psychiatrists (CAPs) across European countries. It aims to revisit and extend the survey carried out in 2006 by Karabekiroglu and colleagues. The current article is embedded in a special issue of European Child + Adolescent Psychiatry attempting to for the first time address training in CAP at the European and global levels. Structured information was sought from each of 38 European and neighboring countries (subsequently loosely referred to as Europe) and obtained from 31. The information was provided by a senior trainee or recently qualified specialist and their information was checked and supplemented by information from a senior child and adolescent psychiatry trainer. Results showed that there is a very wide range of provision of training in child and adolescent psychiatry in different countries in Europe. There remains very substantial diversity in training across Europe and in the degree to which it is subject to national oversight and governance. Some possible reasons for this variation are discussed and some recommendations made.
